National policy!
This was the embodiment of a country's style and influence.
Ever since Zhao Kuangyin founded the Great Song, due to the influence of the military governors at the end of the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, as well as the mutiny at Chen Qiao, many generals had given him the yellow robe.
This caused him to be wary of the generals.
Therefore, he gave up his military power and removed all the generals 'military power, disbanding them and returning to the fields.
To a certain extent, the release of military power had indeed stabilized the structure of the country, and there would no longer be a situation where the generals of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms took turns to rebel and declare themselves emperors.
However, to some extent, it also limited the country's development.
Since ancient times, civil and military officials had formed the structure of a country.
Civil officials ruled the world and relied on their ability to govern the country, take on official positions, and develop the people's livelihood.
The general Wei Guo relied on his military strategy and individual strength to lead the army to quell chaos and repel the enemy.
It was like a human's two legs supporting the advancement of mankind.
If one of his legs was unbalanced and one of his legs was swollen or injured, his pace would definitely slow down.
In the more serious cases, one leg would bleed too much, and it could even cause death.
People would die, but countries would be destroyed.
After Li Longji of the Tang Dynasty, the military governors became bigger and had the three powers of military, political, and financial. As a result, the military generals expanded rapidly and the role of civil officials shrank rapidly.
Tang Chao's legs began to lose control.
In the end, Zhu Wen usurped the throne and the Tang Dynasty perished.
Zhao Kuangyin of the Song Dynasty established the country. He learned from the lessons of the Tang Dynasty and reduced the living space of the Song Dynasty generals, greatly improving the status of civil officials.
In the entire Great Song, the positions of the Bureau of Military Affairs could be civil officials or eunuchs. Only a few of them were military generals.
As a result, the Song Dynasty's two legs, the one that represented the generals, began to wither and show symptoms.
The advantage of a civil official ruling the country was that if the emperor was wise and capable, the people's livelihood would develop rapidly and the living standards of the people could be improved.
For example, Fan Zhongyan's Qingli New Deal, Wang Anshi's reform, and Sima Guang's collision with the conservative faction.
All of these made the Song Dynasty rich and the lives of the people happy.
This also made the court the world of scholar-bureaucrats.
Regardless of whether it was the Reformist Party or the Old Guard Party, these were the internal structures of the scholar-bureaucrats that were not unified. They could fight for power and profit on normal days, but if the army got involved, things would change.
As a result, the Donghua School's top scorer became everyone's dream, but joining the army would be looked down upon by people.
The army's pay was embezzled, and they ate empty pay. This kind of thing could be calculated by many.
However…no one cared.
This was the status of a general or soldier!
It was also an external manifestation of the national policy set by Zhao Kuangyin.
During the Tang Dynasty, civil officials could still mount their horses to kill the enemy.
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were both ruthless people who rode their swords and killed their way into the enemy.
Zhangsun Wuji was also a military official who had turned into a civil official after the founding of the country.
The Immortal Poet Li Bai's swordsmanship was known as the second best in the Great Tang.
Yan Zhenqing, who wrote the second most famous article in the world,"Sacrifice to Nephew Manuscript", even led the rebel army to fight against the rebels after the An Lushan Rebellion, and once recovered Hebei.
At the age of seventy-three, Yan Zhenqing, whose hair had already turned white, led his army to eliminate the rebel generals and eventually died on the battlefield.
The literati of this period still mastered the Six Arts of a Gentleman. They could write to stabilize the world, and they could mount a horse to stabilize the world.
Until the Song Dynasty, learning martial arts became something that everyone despised.
Therefore, scholars no longer practice martial arts, wholeheartedly read only the books of sages.
Although this had maintained the stability of the country.
However, it also resulted in the weak combat strength of the army. When facing the enemy, they only wanted to end the battle.
After several defeats, the scholar-officials of the imperial court also began to try to sue for peace.
And once peace negotiations became something that had existed since ancient times, the literati would no longer think about how to win, but would continue to negotiate peace negotiations.
The laws of the ancestors could not be changed. How familiar was that?
If they paid enough money every year, they would be able to ensure the safety of the Great Song. Why would they need to replenish the army's food, pay, weapons, and equipment?
Therefore!
Civil officials and generals were indispensable. They needed to find a way to coexist with each other without affecting the balance.
In this way, as long as the emperor selected wise talents, the Ming Dynasty would last forever!
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang's mind cleared up.
He secretly memorized this idea and prepared to go back and quietly think about its feasibility.
The video was still playing on the screen.
The emperor's order could not be disobeyed, so Li Gang had no choice but to pack his bags and embark on a trip to the southwest.
Kaifeng was settled, so the Retired Emperor Song Huizong returned to Kaifeng from Bozhou.
However, what Zhao Huanji and the other treacherous officials did not expect was that after a few months of silence, the Jin general actually led tens of thousands of Jin troops to surround Kaifeng again.
This scared Zhao Huan, Zhao Ji, and the other treacherous officials.
Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty hurriedly recalled Li Gang, but Li Gang had already left Kaifeng for more than a month, so he could not make it back in time.
Panicked, Emperor Qinzong of Song and Sun Bo, who held the three positions of Minister of War, Right Deputy, and Privy Council, actually believed Taoist Guo Jing's words.
Guo Jing claimed that he knew the Six Jia Technique. As long as he gathered 7777 soldiers whose birth characters matched the Six Jia, he could use the Six Jia Technique to repel the enemy and capture the enemy general alive.
Everyone in the imperial court actually believed such an absurd statement! There were very few people who objected.
Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty granted Guo Jing the title of Cheng Zhonglang and even gave him a large amount of gold to satisfy Guo Jing's needs.
This was even more unreliable than Ying Zheng asking Xu Fu to go out to sea to seek immortality.
Everyone in the myriad worlds grinned at the same time, as if they wanted to laugh.
Ying Zheng was the only one with a dark expression.
Why did it suddenly involve him?
The starry sky at two o'clock in the morning is really dark.
